    Author: Panciani PP, Forgnone S, Fontanella M, Ducati A, Lanotte M.
    Journal: Acta Neurol Belg; 2009 Jun; 109(2):146-8. PubMed ID: 19681448.
    Abstract:
    Spontaneous spinal epidural haematoma (SSEH) is a rare clinical entity that generally requires an urgent surgical evacuation. The combination of Brown-Séquard syndrome (BSS) and Horner's syndrome (HS) as the presenting symptoms of a traumatic spinal epidural haematoma is very unusual, but it has never been observed in cases of spontaneous haematoma. We herein describe a case of SSEH presenting with simultaneous BSS and HS. The possibility of a conservative management in similar cases is discussed.
